X FACTOR motormouth Louis Walsh has let rip at his fellow judges — and revealed Simon and Dannii are barely talking.
Louis, 56, also slammed Simon for his arrogance — and mocked Dannii’s Botoxed looks.
He even called former judge Sharon Osbourne “a loose cannon” — but admitted he admired her guts in standing up to Simon, 49.
'Pompous and arrogant' ... Simon Cowell
'Pompous & arrogant' ... Simon
Only new girl judge Cheryl Cole, 25, escaped the tongue-lashing.
Louis spoke out after two of his three group acts were booted off the ITV1 hit.
He said Simon — who has been preening about the popularity of his own acts — is driving him nuts.
He said: “He thinks it’s his world — it’s his world and we are all lucky to live in it.
“He is pompous, and he’s arrogant and successful.”

Westlife manager Louis — briefly sacked from the series by show boss Simon last year — also revealed Dannii and Simon are hardly speaking.
Their chilly relationship is clear on the show. The Aussie, 37, snipes at Simon while he “forgets” the names of her acts.
Louis says on today’s Paul O’Grady Show: “Dannii and Simon are talking — just not much.”
But he cannot resist his own dig at Dannii, who has admitted having Botox. He said: “I remember buying her album years ago. She looks totally different now!”

He added he missed Sharon, 56, who quit the series earlier this year.
He said: “Simon couldn’t control Sharon. She’s a loose cannon, didn’t care about him, said what she wanted and I loved that.”
Louis, whose remaining band JLS are still winning votes, is on O’Grady’s show at 5pm on Channel 4.
DO U KNOW WHAT I THINK THAT DANNII IS THE ONLY 1 WITH SOME GRACE AND DIGNITY ON THE X FACTOR. THE OTHER JUDGES SHOULD JUST CONCENTRATE ON MENTORING, THEY ALL THINK THEY ALL SO ********** brilliant AND THAT THEY ARE SO BUSY WORKING, WELL DANNII IS THE ONLY 1 THAT PROMOTES THE SHOW AS WELL AS DERMOT, SHE MENTORS YET SHE ALSO DOES A LITTLE VIDEO BLOG 4 US, I DONT SEE CHERYL, LOUIS OR SIMON DOING ANYTHING. THE OTHER JUDGES ARE JUST STUCK UP THERE OWN ARSES!!!! IMO, THEY THINK THEY ARE ROYALTY!! AND THINK THAT DANNII IS JUST THERE 2 FILL THE NUMBERS ON THE PANEL. (sorry)
